The first time I went to Sea World on the Gold Coast, I was probably only six years old. I had a black and white Polaroid photo for a long time, of me holding a fish and a dolphin jumping out of the water to snatch it. My brothers and I loved the whole day and slept, well like little kids the whole way home! But yes it was the 1970’s and my options did not include color photo. I was luck enough to return to Sea World three or four times in my early teens, when cousins from the southern states would come to visit my parents loved to take them. It always had a new attraction to entertain us, but we loved to see the dolphins the most.

I went back to Sea World in the very late 1980’s, to find that much had changed and there were now a lot more sophisticated rides and the shows too had evolved into a world class display. We were looking at their web site the other night to see if the kids would be interested in visiting while we are on holiday on the Gold Coast. We decided not to bother asking them and are planning just to book a day a Sea World. I know I want to go again, and my man can’t wait to go on the roller coaster. From such humble beginnings Sea World has grown to be a world class tourist attraction on the Gold Coast. Some of the other attractions along the spit, didn’t make it, but I think Sea World did because it was able to grow and evolve, and took some risks too. I am looking forward to seeing polar bears. When we book our rental car we use carrentalsurfersparadise.com.au, that way we can see all the local rental companies’ prices on the one site, not as confusing as trying to skip from one site to another. Quotes are very competitive because they are all competing against each other for my business. Sea World has a very comprehensive site, Google sea world. I am looking forward to making memories with my kids at Sea World and we will be meeting up with the cousins while there too.
